Calling Windows Picture And Fax Viewer

[Bob King]

How do I call "Windows Picture And Fax Viewer" from a
third party program. I have searched everywere and am
unable to locate this program.

If you want to open a file with "Windows Picture and Fax viewer" you can run
"rundll32.exe <drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
%1". Replace the "%1" with the file name.

You can use the standard Win32 API ShellExecuteEx. Refer to its
documentation for further information. Essentially you set the lpVerb
parameter of SHELLEXECUTEINFO structure to 'open' and the lpFile parameter
to the tiff file name.

Please note that this will open the default program associated with the file
specified.
